White Sox vs Royals Preview
Action PRO projects White Sox starter Erick Fedde for 2.6 strikeouts in their matchup against the Royals today, giving us a great 15.7% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 3.5, which is good enough to tag the Under with an A- grade in our system.
The right-hander has fanned just four batters in each of his first two starts, and this time he will have to deal with a contact-driven lineup that is bound to break out of their slump and start hitting.
Fedde will face a Royals offense that ranks 11th in strikeout percentage against RHP this season, with 21.7%.
Last year, Kansas City finished first in the same department against righties with 17.4%.
White Sox vs Royals Picks
Fedde is on a downward trend when it comes to strikeouts. His K/9 ratio has fallen in the past few years, with a mere 5.30 last season.
In a small sample in 2026, he's at 6.35 K/9, but if he doesn't improve his overall numbers to stay long enough in games, he won't be able to rack up many strikeouts anyway.
Fedde is coming off a season with a 5.49 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP and a 5.20 FIP, and it doesn't seem he'll get any better this season.
Let's fade him today on his strikeout line.
Pick: Erick Fedde Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-144, FanDuel)
